If everyday life is, as many have come to believe, the ideal vantage point for an analysis of the social, it is also the crucial first step in its transformation.The volume opens with a return to Henri Lefebvre's powerful attempt to think the everyday as both residue and resource, as the site of profound alienation and-by the same token-the site where all emancipatory initiatives and desires begin. The second section focuses on our attempts to represent our lived reality to ourselves in cultural forms, from painting and literature and film to an analysis of the contemporary transformations of the sub-genre most embedded in the deep superficiality of everyday life: detective fiction. The final section turns to present-day ecological occupations in the wake of the zad at Notre-Dame-des-Landes, and locates the everyday as a site for rich oppositional resources and immanent social creativity.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 140mmItem Weight: 294gAuthor: Kristin RossGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Literary Criticism, Arts & PhotographyItem Width: 20mmType: Political Science & IdeologyRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
